INSTRUCTIONS

Each round you will be given a scenario and a task to accomplish. Assume any items you need to accomplish the task are present in the room. Your goal is to fail to accomplish this task, as elaborately and creatively as possible while still ostensibly trying to accomplish it. Do not ICly discuss and plan what you're going to do in each round. Just jump right in. Ping Raven when you need a new round.

This is a loser game, so the losers win, but there will be prizes for the teams that fail most creatively!

ENTERING THE ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

You understand the premise above, but at this point your room is empty. You can do any meet-and-greet or general discussion here before the scenarios begin.

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

You are a suburban family attempting to prepare, serve and consume a simple spaghetti dinner.

The following unrelated objects are present as well:
a drinking horn
a pair of aviator sunglasses
a pair of nail clippers
a glue stick
three AAA batteries
a sponge
a pillow
a dish towel
one of those spray-nozzles you stick on a garden hose
a bottle of wine

[climbs up on the dinner table and SITS THERE like a gloriously huge scaly cat, knocking anything and everything to the floor]

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

Er . . .

What is spaghetti?

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

It is a pasta dish, I think. Like a soup with noodles, but with tomatoes instead of the soup.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

Well . . . with the stuff we have, wouldn't we . . . fail anyway?

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

That is the goal.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

We could just not try, but that's not creative.

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

We should try our very best to fail.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

Maybe we can tear up the towel to look like noodles?

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

We've some noodles already, but the towel will add more fiber and texture; it is a good addition.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

And maybe put it all in the drinking horn?

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

With the wine, too.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

And the nail clippers can be the utensils!

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

Of course, it is much more precise than a fork.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

And maybe those weird things can go in too.

[ points to the batteries ]

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

I do not know what else those could be used for; what are they?

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

I don't know.

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

Well, it was given to us, so we will make use of it.

[stuffs them into the horn along with the gluestick]

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

You are on an exciting outdoor adventure with your friends and/or family! The sun will set soon, and you need to pitch a tent and otherwise set up your campsite before it is too dark to see.

The following unrelated objects are present as well:
a hat -- IT'S A TRILBY, A TRILBY DAMMIT NOT A FEDORA
a bottle of wine
a sponge
a half-eaten bar of dark chocolate
a glue stick
a sofa, fit for three family members or one very greedy one
a pad of sticky notes
half-moon spectacles
$7.63 entirely in pennies
a steak knife

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

Do you think that's enough?

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

It is all the important ingredients.

Re: ROUND 1

[alltherightmoves]

Okay then!

Re: ROUND 1

[shipwithwings]

It has been soaked in wine, so that ought to be enough for cooking, too.

Re: ROUND 2

[alltherightmoves]

Hmm. What if we put the sofa upside down?
